  Speaker 1: The congregation of the Malord Militia has reunited. Here reunited
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and a lot going on, a lot of moving parts here.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Now a story that is a developing story. We're gonna
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: start with this. The Mile High City. There's a lot
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of things moving around. The pinball machine there and pro
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: bouncy ball, the silly season. As yet again, we are
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: on the pulse of what many of you find repulsive gossip,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: speculation and rumor mongering. That's right, but interesting. Wrinkle out
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of Denver. We have a mantra on this show. We
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: have many mantras, but one of the mantras is we
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: just we wake up we don't know what's going on,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and then you know, we don't even know what's going
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: on when we go to bed, but we wake up
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, whatever's interesting, whatever the news of the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: day is, and we just talk about and so I
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: thought this was interesting, and I have editorial control, So
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm talking about now. Someday I'll give that
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: up and supermarket Steve will have editorial control. We'll talk
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: WNBA and then they'll turn the transmitter off and that's it.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: But if you didn't hear, maybe not so multi time
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Platinum MVP guy, the whole thing. Nicola Jokic, we learned
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: will not will not sign a extension with the Nuggets
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: this offseason. Not gonna happen. There was a standing offer
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: there by the Denver basketball team.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: He is not going to do it. Now, the Nugget
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: media is like.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Well, it's not really that big a deal because he
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: can make more money in a couple of years.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Or actually just in a year. So just like wait,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: and he is under contract.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss though, because there were other factions,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: other factions and me combatants who say, not so fast,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: my friend, So let's discuss the question Nicole Jokic, we
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: are told, has let the Nuggets know that he does
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: not plan to sign a contract extension this offseason. So
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: what does that signify? To get cut through the fog?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: What does that signify signify to you? So I've got gatorade,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Early Bird and kneepads, and we will combine all of
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: these things together and we are gonna make the Gobba Ghoul.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: We're gonna make the Gobba gool. So a, what does
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: it signify? All right?
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: This is not that deep at Sports Direct from Europe,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: All Away from Europe, Ladies and gentlemen, step right up
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: under the big top. That's right under the big top.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: The greatest show in the basketball off season is underway.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Get a glimpse. Get a glimpse. It's not for the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: faint of art, but get a glimp of the Serbian sledgehammer,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the drama. Oh my god. Now Jokic telling the Nuggets
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: to go pound sand that he's not going to sign
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: a two hundred and twelve million dollar contract extension this offseason.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Now that has opened the floodgates. Whether you like it
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: or not, it's opened the floodgates. From Walla Walla, Washington,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: to kalamazoo. Okay, every team that plausibly plays basketball and
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: occasionally wants to win, and they have dreams of championships,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: and the whispering is underway. Could we get the joker
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: in the deck? Could we get the joker in the deck? Now?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: The party poopers, you know who they are. Oh, they say, listen,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Nicole Yoki, he's just waiting. He's just he's gonna get
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: an extra eighty million dollars more if he just waits
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a year. And really, what is a year?
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Time flies? The older you get just goes by fast.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: So while that is certainly popossible, that is certainly possible.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I don't dismiss that. I don't dismiss that. But he's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: also ridiculous to dismiss the possibility that this is the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: beginning of the end for Nikola Jokic in Denver. Remember
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the owner came out said there is a scenario where
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Jokic isn't going to stay in Denver. He tossed that
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: out unsolicited, by the way, And now just a few
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: days later, Jokic says, I ain't signing that extension. Okay.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: So in the multiverse, you put everything together. In the multiverse,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: no it's possible that this is a foreshock. What Nicole
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Jokic did is a foreshock to a larger seismic event.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Plot thickens now regardless, the power Brokers, if you want
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to call them that, and my favorite, the gossip hounds.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: They're like bloodhounds of gossip and they're all salivating, Oh
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: my god, like Pavlov's dogs the sound of the dinner
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: bell man. Are they excited?
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: He's not going anywhere today unless he wants that. But remember,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: anything is possible at any time, Like the NBA could
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: call the Nuggets up and say, hey, we want Jokic
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to play for a real team like the Clippers, and
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: we say we believe the conspiracy. That's how Luca ended
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: up with the Lakers. It's not because of some slick
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: GM work by Skinny Jeans Rob Polinka. It's like, well,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the NBA TV ratings were down, let's get Luca in La.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: We'll get the ratings up. Why not? But technically, Jokic
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: has not one but two years left on the deal
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: from what we understand based on a minute long investigation,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: also has a player option forget about that that will
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: not be activated. And the Nuggets publicly, he's the franchise,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: He's the cornerstone. Certainly is all those things. Certainly is
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: all those things. And Denver, seemingly to pacify Jokic, went
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: out and made some moves. They traded Michael Porter Jr.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: For someone named Cam Johnson. We're not sure who that is.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: And they added Yonis Valanusa Valentunis, who was so excited
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: He's thinking about leaving and not even playing for the Nuggets.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: But the effort was made to bolster the depth on
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the Denver Nuggets, and Yokich himself had asked for more depth,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: so they went out and made some.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Moves to get more depth.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Now, regardless of the math, I'm even talking about Mallard math,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about contractual math. I'm not talking about the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Malor math, which is different. It's a version of math,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: but it's not the actual math. It's the Malor math.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: It's different. So Yo Kitch in my head, that little
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: cartoon bubble over my head. Yo Kich is filming a
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Gatorade commercial for the Denver Nuggets. Make them sweat, all right,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: He's making them sweat a little bit. Yeah, Sure, there's
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: a world where he gets that extra eighty million dollars
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and we're all good. We are all good. Right. It
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: is a savvy move for a guy. He's not chasing
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: a championship, but guys, his little hunk of metal. Finals,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: MVP three, regular season MVPs. The nugget Backers though, the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: real Nugget back they're they're biting their fingernails a little bit.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Uh and for good reason. You know, Well, it's a
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: savvy business play for now. It's a business play for now.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: And you know, is he gonna end up in New
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: York or LA or you know, the Warriors in San Francisco.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: We don't know. But the whispers are only gonna get
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: louder louder and louder. And the vultures, those NBA vultures, Yes,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the hyenas, they're out and they're gonna get altitude sickness.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: The recruiting is underway. I guaran efing to you that
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the recruiting is underways. Hey, you know, I just talk
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to Jokics, you know, go why he's having some pints
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: of beer watching a horse race somewhere in someplace far
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: far away, you know, just the centim a text, you know, Hey, yeah, Nicole.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: You ever thought about coming to Milwaukee in the winter,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: beautiful weather. Yes, So the circus is just getting started
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: with what I'm trying to all right now, turn the page,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: page two. So to the Bay Area, the aforementioned Bay Area,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: we go wild ending in the baseball game. Then we're
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: not talking about that right now. I'll get to that later.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: But some late night musings, some late night musings, and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: we're hearing now the Golden State Warriors, the Golden State
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: wars who would have been the San Francisco Warriors, but
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: they kept winning championships, so they decided not to change
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the name. They were going to change the name of
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: San Francisco Warriors, which it had been, but they was
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: we kept winning, so we're gonna go back, you know,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: keep the name Golden State Warriors. Anyway, the Golden State Warriors,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: we are told have a handshake deal. Shaking your end
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: a handshake deal with Al Horford, late of the Boston Celtics.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Al Horford, late night news, Al Horford handshake deal. He
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: will join the roster of the Golden State Warriors. So
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: how do you feel about that? How do you feel
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: about this particular move? Al Horford with the Warriors. So
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I have this on my note app, the notes app
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: on my When I put the word sketchy, that's what
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I put. Because which version of Al Horford are the
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Warriors going to come on down? Which version of Al
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: are you getting? Is he going to be locked in?
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Is he going to be what he had been quite
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: a bit in Boston? His nickname average, Al was his nickname,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: He's the average And Horford, as of twenty four hours ago,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: was said to be debating whether or not he wanted
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: to go out to the West Coast, to go to
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: San Francisco or to a nice retirement a time share
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: in Boca with a tea time at three o'clock of
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the afternoon. So let's not sugarcoat this. There's no need
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: to sugarcoat the Al Horford story. Horford has certainly been
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: more of the early bird special version of basketball player
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: than the stretch five specialists. The difference maker is not
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: that guy. Hadn't been that guy for the better part
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: of a couple of seasons now and in Boston, and
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: and sure he's had occasional moments returned to glory. He's
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: hit some corner threes, and I'm sure he'll do a
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: little bit of that with the Golden State Warris and
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: occasionally some defensive players will make a play here and there,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: and and fine, but he's been around since like the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: flip phone. You know, he's been in the NBA since
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the flip phone was still still a popular thing.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: And so, but don't confuse a few.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Random playoff performances it looked okay on the boob tube.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Don't confuse that with some kind of renaissance career renaissance.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: I do not believe this is a Benjamin and not
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: be like, not me but Benjamin Button type situation. Uh,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the the mileage has piled up there in the NBA. Again,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Horfe is not a bad player. He was never a
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: great player. Yeah, you're not that guy, Pal, You're not
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: that guy. He's just he's just kind of there. And
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: it does a little bit of this, a little bit
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: of that, but not a lot of anything. And there
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: was eighteen minutes a game and a couple of screens
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: here broadcasters slobbering all over him.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Sure, you know I can get a good back.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: In the day story. No, remember Al Horford back in
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the day with the Atlanta Hawks when they had no
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: good players. But somehow I had all these all stars
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: made no sense?
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Now, last word, we go to Los Angeles where it
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: was Welcome to the Club, Welcome to the Club, date
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: DeAndre Ayton, the next stiff for the Lakers. DeAndre Ayton
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: was introduced a heroes welcome. Oh boy, they have no
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: idea what they're getting into. So DeAndre Ayton was introduced
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: with the Lakers. His big pep rally news conference there
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: for DeAndre Ayton, and he talked about Luca the Super
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Combination draft mates in the same draft class years ago.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: He was twenty eighteen, I believe, so he was really
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: going big. He was laying it on thick. DeAndre Ayton
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: introduced with the Lakers, talked about playing with Luka Dancik
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and it's gonna be like a video game. He said,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: he's not going to take this opportunity for granted. Okay,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: what say you? What say you?
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: So Ayton, I'm worried that he overdosed on hutzpah, a
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: lot of hutzpa, a lot of hoodspa there.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Now the video game line that was.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Great, like a video game, Oh yeah yeah, And of
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: course the only joystick that DeAndre Ayton has been holding
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: for a while, is the one controlling his own hyprial
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and selective editing. If you watch the selective editing, you
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: will think DeAndre eat And is much better than he is.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: The opportunity, he said, this is an opportunity that I
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: won't take for granted. Okay, really that is known as
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: being extra rich. That is extra rich coming from someone
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: who has been coasting along like he's on a peloton.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: He's got that subscription to the peloton and he's just
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: kind of gliding through his basketball career there and but
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: he really did DeAndre at and though he fawned all
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: over Luke, it was a little uncomfortable. It's a little uncomfortable.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: It was you know, talked about the cheat code thing
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and once in a generation and super ripped he said,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: he said, Lucas super ripped, glad to be on his side.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: All that, I mean, everything goes everything. It was eight
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: and praising Luca dotcha. By the time he got done
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: with this news it's on YouTube, you can watch it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: By the time he got done, you would have thought
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: that Luka Doncik had been the person that had discovered
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: fire and that, I mean, he just like a caveman Neanderthal,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: and he came up with fire Luca. Of all people
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: that's recorded DeAndre eight. My god, it's amazing. He went
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: full howk tour with the knee pads on he had.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: He was going for it. He was going for it,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: full tongue bath from DeAndre eight, And it was wow.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I thought he was describing some kind of Marvel character,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: not a not a teammate, not a basketball player. What
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: are you doing well? The surprise of surprises for good
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: old DeAndre. As far as the video game, you are
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: not the main character of the video game. You are
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: not the main character of said video game. And I
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: didn't hear a lot of talk about Lebron.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Maybe I missed it from DeAndre ayt. And also does that.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Mean that they're sitting Lebron's exit up in Lakerland. I
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: don't know about that. We'll keep an eye on that.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: But you're not the main character in the video game.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: So that's the first thing. You are the non player
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: character NPC, as the kid say there, And you're also
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the one that keeps glitching like there's a glitch there,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: and the glitch happens when you're supposed to box somebody
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: out pay attention, not fall asleep on the court in
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the middle of a play, the glitch happens, and the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: extra special spoiler alert, the extra special spoiler alert if
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: this were a video game. DeAndre Ayton real close to
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: just being unplugged, I mean total zero in the finals
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: for the Phoenix Suns. Disappeared multiple times in that series,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a winnable series against the Milwaukee Bucks goes to Portland.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Is a total turd. And he is one of those
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: guys it's all hat and no cattle. That sums up.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I know he's not a Texan, but that sums up
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: DeAndre eid So yeah, so why are things going to
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: be different over there on skid Row where the Lakers
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: play beautiful skid Row. So he's had talent. I'm pretty
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: sure that he's had the size DeAndre Aiden.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: I don't think.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: He's lacked opportunity in his pro bouncy ball career. I said,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of things handed to him that he didn't
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: deserve because he's taller and bigger than the other players.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: So he's had a lot of good opportunities and mainly
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: in Phoenix with the Suns, and he used it to
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: serve up muffins. Yeah, they were mediocrity muffins is what
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: he's served him. Not very delicious, not a lot of
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: taste in those.

  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from Milwaukee. Now not
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: your normal milk toast kind of a game in baseball.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: There's some wild finishes we mentioned at the end of
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: last hour, the Giants winning on a three run walk
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: off home run by a catcher, tremendous outfield defense by
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Phillies. They should buy those old Tom Amanski
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: videos how to Play Baseball Baseball fund Most anyway, this
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: is about what happened in Brewtown, big time. Pitching. You
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: had the old versus the new honorary All Star, that
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: token All Star appearance for Clayton Kershaw, for La versus
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: the next big thing after the next big thing. See
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the next big thing is Paul Skeens in Pittsburgh. But
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: then after that, this other guy is the next week.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I think you know what I'm talking about. Maybe not so.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Jacob Miserawski, that's what we're talking about here. And he
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: had a tough outing his last time out against the
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: New York Metropolitans, but he came back with Gusto for
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the brew Crew. He did allow a leadoff on run
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: to show hey, o'toni, but he ended up striking out
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: not one, not two, not three, and not four, not five,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: not six, not seven. At eight twelve twelve helpless Dodger
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: batters as the Dodgers are going through a rough patch
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: right now and the Milwaukee Brewers, the Brew Crew defeat
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the Blue Crew seats the Brew Crew over the Blue
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Crew three to one in a random game on a
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Tuesday night, the NL West, leading the top team in
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the National League. The Dodgers have now lost five straight
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: five straight games. Now, for me, the story here is
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: on the mat I watched this game. Now, I was
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: flipping around, and I watched a little bit of the
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Red Sox game, but they're playing the Rockies. Watched some
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: of the Yankee game. There was a rain delay in
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: that one. Some of the Phillies giants, you know, they're
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: flipping in the background. I had the TV on when
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I was getting ready for the show, and it's kind
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: of cool because.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: I can watch random games.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: So I'm flipping around, and I did focus in on
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the Brewers and the Giants because I wanted to see
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: this guy. I'd seen him pitch earlier the mizz and
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I to see how this all went down. So what
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: are your impressions? What are your impressions of the Brewers
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: starter Jacob Mazaraski and how he did against the Dodgers
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: after that starts. So my observations. I've got anaconda, packing peanuts,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: and sledgehammer man. We will combine all of these things
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: together and we will put the biscuit in the basket.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: All right, So number what I said, number, what is
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: this guy? Twenty three years old? If you could buy
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: stock in how much this cat's gonna make? Twenty three
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: years old, six foot seven, built like a coat rat
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: guy and not a lot of meat on the bone there.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I guess he'll fill out as he gets older. He
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: does have the rocket launcher in the arm there. Now
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: it is a small sample size, only made five stars.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Don't be a prison of a moment, Ben, But wowsers, Man,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: is this guy good? Holy crap? I mean this guy
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: is really good. He throwing You talk about throwing the heat,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: but he's not. Just it's people get all excited to
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: get a horny because he throws one hundred miles an hour. However,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: he did show signs of actually knowing how to pitch,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure the nerds will take over and make
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: sure you don't ever do that. Just throw it, throw
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: you throw hundred miles an hour, don't throw a slider.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: What's the curveball? What's wrong with you? So he had
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: twelve strikeouts, and if the math is right on this,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: he had seven strikeouts.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Came on the curveball. The analytics are not they're not
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: gonna like that.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: What is wrong with you?
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: He had one on a slider, one on a change up.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: So nine of the twelve strikeouts. We're not on the fastball,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: We're not on the fastball and so he's proven this. Listen,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: he is a flamethrower and all that stuff. But on
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: on the Mount, he's more of like a surgeon, a
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: little surgeon action going out there on the Mount. So
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I was saying about this and object like the Dodger.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I think Dodgers should get back to the World Series,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: should win it unless the Astros get the trash cans
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: out again and all that stuff. But if Milwaukee doesn't
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: botch this, and there's a hot take coming, I hope
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: you're prepared. You might want to fasten your seat. But
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: there's a hot take coming. So if Milwaukee doesn't screw
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: this up, and I'm talking about innings limits and oh,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: we're gonna shut them down. If an abundance of caution,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: we're gonna shut them is down. Okay, this is gonna
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: be a magic carpet ride, is what it's gonna be.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I am Benny bright Side. I am Benny bright Side.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: On Jacob Mazaski, he is fearsome, like a barracuda and lethal,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I said, giant anaconda on the mount. He's the kind
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: of a talent. Here's the hot take. If you gave
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: me one thousand dollars of funny money tedday, and you said,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: who's got more of a chance of beating the Dodgers
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: on the National League side of the bracket, I would
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: say the Milwaukee brew is rather like the Mets or
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: the Phillies or the Podres of some of the other
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: teams that are the top teams the nationally I would
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: take the Milwaukee Brewers, and here's why, all right to me,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: they are more of a threat. And I'll tell you why.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: We start with them. With Jacob Mizerowski. This guy has
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the the Genni siquah if you will. He's got the
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: razzled out dazzle, he's got the or. But more importantly,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: he's good, right. He just looks like he knows what
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: he's doing. He's the kind of guy if he can
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: back that up in the plus and listen, some guys
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: get tight. Took his syndrome in the playoffs and they
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: can't get it done in big games. One of them
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: is named Clinton Kershaw. But assuming he's not like that,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: assuming that Jacob Mizerowski is able to perform in the playoffs,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: then I would drink the brew Crew cool aid. I
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: would put my money on Milwaukee there and they're a
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: legit dark horse threat on the National League side of
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: the bracket to the Mighty Dodgers down the line in
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: October and Pat Murphy, who I kind of liked this guy,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: you know, if I'm not mistaken, I was watching the
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: game they had. They had an in game interview on
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Turner with Pat Murphy, and I'm pretty sure that he
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: said a bad word while there were one of the
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Brewers enters hit a fly ball that looked like it
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: might be a home run, but it landed kind of
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: short of the warning track, and he said the S word,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: which I think we should be allowed to say, but
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: you're not technically allowed to say the S word. So
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I like that guy, Pat Murph. I know he's been
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: around forever as a college manager and all that stuff.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: We don't talk college baseball other than like maybe once
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: a year at the College World Series. But I like
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: this guy. And so he gave the money quote about
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: the miss. He said, he's just coming out of the
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: egg all arms and legs, still got gooey stuff coming
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: off of him. That's what he said. Just gooey stuff
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: sounds good, right, Gooey stuff sounds pretty good. So that
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: is not a diss, that is not a shot fired. Obviously,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: the guy's the manager, he's an advocate for his player.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: That's more of a warning that this is a dinosaur
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: that Jacob Misser Russie. The guy's a guyna sore and
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: he hasn't fully formed into t rex yet. It hasn't
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: hasn't happened now, So keep an eye. And the reason
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: to be optimistic, to be bullish rather than embarrashing on
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: the Brewers, is you figure with Jacob Mazerowski in the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: playoffs in a seven game series, the Brewers bullpens. Okay,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: it's come around after a tough start. So in a
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: seven game series, he's gonna start two to three of
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: those seven. If it goes seven, I'll start three unless
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: he's a woos and then they'll start maybe one. But
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: let's say he starts two. Then you've got all star
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Freddy Peralta, and you've got Brandon Woodriff, who's pretty pretty good.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: He's been hurt when he came back.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: So those would be your three starting pitchers, I believe,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken there in the playoffs, and so,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: as the Larry David would say, that's.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: Pretty deep, pretty deep.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Pretty good, I would say, pretty good. All right, Now
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: we pivot away from that and we go to the NFL.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: We are closing in on the start of training camp.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: It's not that exciting, not that exciting. But there was
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: some interesting commentary coming out of Jerry's world. That's right,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: the obligatory mention of the Dallas Cowboys. So Dak Prescott
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: waxing poetic recently about his receiving corps in Dallas. Now,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the quote that stood out to us was what he
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: had to say about George Pickens. That stood out to us.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: So Dak made a declaration, gave a statement, do we
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: have this?
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: I think we have this. Let's see we have the idea.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: This is Dak Prescott going on a little bit of
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: hyperbole on his new wide receiver, George Pickens. Take a list.
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: That's two guys that want the other guy to succeed
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: just as much, saying it firsthand, just them two hanging
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: out and me the bystandard. I'll go in the house,
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: you know, purposely for a little bit, you know, and
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: just peaking at him. They love each other, they love
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: each other's company, they love each other's game.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: The guy that gets to get them the ball. It's
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: exciting as.
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: Hell because you can turn on ota tapes and one
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: of the guys the ball's in there, and the other
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: one's got his hands up celebrating already.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: All right. So he was talking about in that cut,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: he was talking about Pickens and Ceedee Lamb. In the
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: cut that I want I would like to focus in on,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: he said he was talking about George Pickens. He said,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: you turn on that guy's tape talking about George Pickens.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: He's getting separation. He's got separation even when he's not
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: getting the ball at times. And when he doesn't have separation,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: he's still making the catches. Prescott said, for me, it's
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: about getting the ball near that guy and letting him
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: go be George Pickens close.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: All right, So can you unravel all of this?
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Can you unravel what Dak Prescott was getting at with
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: the quote that I just read there, the one about
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: George Pickens. So I've got Dak gibberish is what I got,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Dak gibberish. That's how I that's how I unravel that quote.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: I do so. He said, Pickens is open when he's
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: not open. He's catching balls when he's not catching balls.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: So that must mean, using deductive reasoning that George Pickens
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: is a wide receiver who is actually some kind of
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: quantum particle. I think I think that's what he was
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: getting at with that with that line. Now, is he
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: both open and is covered until observed? Inquiring minds would
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: like to know. So this is another jem a diamond
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: in the rough from Dakota. Now his superpower is not
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: playing quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. No no, no, no, no no.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: This is what dak is good at hot air. He
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: is Jerry Jones should frame this that particular quote, the
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: one I read about what he said about George Pickens
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: here and go over to the louver, because Jerry spot
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: on his yacht somewhere near the louver and put it
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: right next to the Mona Lisa. I just find the
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Mona Lisa and then you put a label on top.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: You can write it if you want, you can make
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: it professionally done. The art of the vague compliment. Dakota Prescott.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: That's it. So dak Prescott's the kind of speaking reminds
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: me of in a previous generation, Derek Jeter. Derek Jeter
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: was like this where the fanboys would get all excited
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: anytime Derek Jeter talked and he's, oh, man, that was
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: a great quote by Derek Teeter, and I'd be like,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: he didn't say anything. Dak Prescott could give a keynote
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: address at a company event and he can go on
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: and on about the nutritional value of packing peanuts. A
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: keynote address by Dak press ball packing peanuts are really
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: good for you and just wonderful, and the crowd would applaud.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: They just wait to go, Dak, I mean outstanding, and
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: they would not know a single, a single thing more
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: than when they sat down to listen to what Dak
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: was saying. So he has really missed his calling. But
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: he's done playing for the Cowboys. He can become a
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: future White House press secretary. He's got that. That is future.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: And he has mastered the quarnerback version of corporate speak.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: He has done that. And the undisputed, undefeated, unchallenged heavyweight
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: champion of the world at saying absolutely nothing in a
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: thirty second sound bite, Dakota Prescott, He's done it yet again.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: He's the guy. He could be asked what time all right,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: what time is it? And he would respond, well, time
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: is a construct, Dak would say. And we're just we're
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: just trying to make the most of the moments that
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: we're given. We don't have that much of it. And
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: he's going on on, so it's not really that he's
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: dodging anything, because he's not that good at dodging sacks.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: He's not dodging anything.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: He's he's just like waltzing around. You know, he's dancing.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: He's got his.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Tuxedo on, he's dancing around, the cliches and all that stuff.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: And yeah, we'd like a little more meat on the bone,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: but we know we're not going to get that.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: And you're supposed to talk that way if you're the.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Quarterback and we like a little more spice or pepper.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: There's not a lot of pepper there. It's just a
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: word salad and a side dish. Little basket of hot air,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: little basket of hot air. All right, now, final point
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: to the atl we go, great airport, bad sports, Great airport,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: bad sports. So the Falcons quarterback for now Kirk Cousins
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: slamming his own team.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, did you see?
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: This is all part of that Netflix show which is
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: out here, That quarterback thing that's out now, So Kirk
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Cousins slamming the Falcons and claimed that he was missiled
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: his word, not my word, missile after they drafted Michael
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Pennix Junior. And how does that sound to you? How
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: does that sound to you? So Cousins, for all the
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: flak that he gets, says he's a diminishing asset at
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: this particular point, he absolutely has a right to be
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: ticked off. Like, I don't know how you could argue
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: against that being dirty pool by the Falcons. I don't
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: know that I would use the word missile. I would
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: go stronger than that. I mean, this is the definition
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: of the blind side a franchise over the years. The
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Falcons they cannot they couldn't spell the word stability at
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. If you spotted in the first six
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: letters of the word, they'd still f it up. I mean,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: they don't know what they're doing. And it does make
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: you wonder there's something going on in that water supply
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: in the state of Georgia there. Tommy in Atlanta might know. Listen,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: he can't call because his evil boss won't let him
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: call anymore. But I met him a while back at
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: a mallor meet and greet there in the South, and
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: he's he listens every night to the show. He cannot
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: interact with us because he's a camera on him and
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: he's driving around his truck. The schmuck's over there. The
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: company oors were, but he knows right when it comes
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: to poor decision making and broken promises. The Atlanta and
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Georgia's sports teams have mastered that. Now the Falcons, we'll
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: talk about them. So they signed Kirk Cousins and then
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: a couple months later drafted in the first round a quarterback.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Before Cousins had even played a game, they drafted a quarterback.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: And so the Falcons were operating. If you go back
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: in the Hot Top time machine, they were operating like that.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: There's some kind of bizarre like psyop thing, like a
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: roster confusion. And Cousins I so moving down to Atlanta,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: he thought he was building a house, and the Falcons
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: are like, hey, Lisen, it's not a hot We're handing
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: you a sledgehammer, and we actually are doing demo. We
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: used to have a demo guy that would call the
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: show from Minnesota. We're handing you a slash jamer. We
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: want you to do some demo, that's it. And he
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: even said, like, if he had known that, he would
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: have stayed with the Vikings. He's like because they drafted
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: a quarterback, but he's like, I liked Minnesota, he liked
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: to like the people there, like the town, the whole thing,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: and he just would have stayed in Minnesota rather than
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: go to Atlanta. So, yeah, the Falcons they did him dirty,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: they did. So how does a front office though in
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: spin of they knew he had an injury, Like it
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: wasn't like a secret. They knew Cousins was hurt when
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: they signed him. But how do you go from we
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: believe in you, we are going to give you a
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: cartoon check for like one hundred and eighty million dogs?
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: How do you go from that to we're hedging our
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: bets like you're some kind of shady blackjack dealer guy
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: in Atlantic. Like it's very odd. It's very odd, and
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: it's mouthfeas it's I would say, and it's worked out,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: then we don't know if it's worked out.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: Neither of us know whether Michael Pennix Junior is good
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: or not.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Now you wow, Cousins is a good And the argument
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: is Cousins is done and maybe that will be true.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: He will be playing for someone other than the Falcons though,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: whether he gets traded now or training camp or early
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: in the season before the trade deadline, obviously, but that
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: is the kind of organizational dysfunction signing a quarterback then
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: drafting a quarterback. It's like the Cleveland Browns. It makes
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: them look like they know what they're doing, the Cleveland Browns.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: And so that was totally a slap right across the
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: schnaz for Kirk Cousins. And you know, it was even
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: like more of like the atomic elbow to the schnaz
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: is what that was there. And so again the Falcons
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: they burned a hundred and was it one hundred and
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: eighty million I believe was the number an investment with
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. And they treated him like a some kind
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: of scratch off ticket, that sir scratch off as in
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Arkansas and just kind of hoping it pays.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Here
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: we go, Here we go, Sweller, how about that to
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: the third degree, This is one big.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: That gets Grail good.
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: So the Chiefs requested an extension from the state of
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: Kansas on their offer to build a team a new
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: stadium if they move over to the Kansas side of
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: Kansas City, and they were granted that extension until June
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: of twenty twenty six.
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: The team will have to.
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: Decide if they want to play in a renovated Arrowhead
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: in Missouri or a new domed stadium in Kansas.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Which do you think they'll go with them? Well, I
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: don't understand what the hull of I thought Arrowhead was
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: cool because I it's nostalgia when I was a kid.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: I went there last November. That was really great experience
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: because I grew up watching games at arrow at big games.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: But Kansas is like literally down the street. The road,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: one of the roads in Kansas City goes right through
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: Missouri and Kansas. So to me, it doesn't matter. But
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: I think they I think eventually they'll just build a
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: domeme in Kansas. I think that's where to go next.
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes made a recent podcast appearance where he said
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: that he thinks this is the deepest group of weapons
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: that he has had around him on the Chiefs Ben.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Do you think that's true. I feel like he says
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: this every other year. Mahomes, how about to be determined.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: I'll see, I'll believe it when these guys get through
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: training camp not hurt.
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: Next Raiders under Mark Davis was reflecting on his father
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: on what would have been his ninety sixth birthday. He said,
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: IL loved Vegas and would love seeing the Raiders where
• 40:22
  Speaker 6: they are now. You wanted to say that Vegas is
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: the sports and entertainment capital of the world.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Ben, Is he right? Well? Al would have loved the
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: fact that Vegas bent over and gave the Raiders everything
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: they wanted, but in terms of market size, it would
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: have been better if they stayed in La It's a
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: bigger marketing. So there it is, malardly third degree.

  Speaker 1: Donkey Sawss rights and he says, what can I do
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: when my mate always steals the covers and the sheets
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: in our bed?
• 44:02
  Speaker 8: Okay, you have a couple of different options here. You
• 44:06
  Speaker 8: can either sleep in your own bed. You could violently
• 44:09
  Speaker 8: kick them out of the bed.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: You can steal all the blankets back.
• 44:13
  Speaker 8: Over and roll up like a burrito. Or you can
• 44:17
  Speaker 8: each have your own blankets on the bed. I know
• 44:19
  Speaker 8: a lot of couples that do that.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I think the move here because I do.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: I am involved with a woman who steals blankets, So
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: I think what you have to do is add an
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: extra blanket a side on the side of the bed,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: and then when she steals the blankets, you pull out
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: the mystery blanket so she will have thought she stole
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: all the blankets, but you have an extra blanket on
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: the side that she doesn't know about. Ah, look at that,
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: yeah blanket. Eileen writes in says favorite show you've seen
